You can gift them to anyone. You just need either their Steam account name or an email address (though they will obviously need a Steam account to use it).

I also have two. So let me know if you want one and what your account name is. Hell, if you know someone else who wants one, tell me their Steam account name.

I have a free copy of Anomaly 2, for whatever that's worth. (Came with a preorder.)

Highlighting my too many games problem, I seem to already own Shogun 2 and didn't really know it.  :o

I'll take a voucher if anyone still has one. On Steam I use Staggerwing for my moniker same as here.

Oh goddammit...it seems these have to be traded. So the person has to be online at the time. For those wondering how this works :

-Bring up your friends list (bottom right corner of the client)
-Next to each name, you'll see a little downward arrow symbol. Click that.
-On the list is 'Invite to Trade'. Choose that.

This opens up a trade window showing everything each person has in their inventory. You don't each have to toss something in...it can be a purely one way deal.

Trading can also be initiated within a chat.

I'm not certain, but I THINK both people have to have Steam Guard active.

wow - why so obtuse...nice idea but complicated. Here's an idea...BIG button that says "Gift this to a friend" which you click, it brings up your friend list (and searchable button if you want to gift to another person ...but why?) and then click "GIFT NOW"

mmm...

I wonder if everyone who has Shogun 2 gets these...'cos I have 2 and it says
Thank you for being a fan of Total War:Shogun 2.Give this coupon of 75% off Total War:Shogun 2 to a friend

It also says it's valid until
(Valid until [date]1369328400[/date])
I have no idea what star date that is referring to  :P

I've got two available as well if anyone sees me on STEAM chat and wants one.

Specifically what is the coupon for? 75% off the original Shogun 2? Because I have the Fall of the Samurai standalone, but not Shogun 2 yet.

People who have them to give away, make sure you post your Steam handle here in the thread, so we can get alerts as to when you're online and can contact for trading.

Yeah, it's only like this for Inventory stuff. Annoying but at least limited.

Anyway, if anyone wants one of these, I'm : http://steamcommunity.com/id/arcticblaster76/

My Steam handle is demiller2.  One of the coupons is already spoken for, but the other is available.

I've semi-randomly sent a friend request to Arctic Blast, in order to set up a transfer of the coupon. :) (The transfer has to be between friends, right?)

I should probably friend request everyone in the Grogheads group just to be thorough while I'm at it... too bad I can't find a way to do that. And I'm lazy. :) Oh well no biggie.

Ascloud, you've been friended (ewwww...). Feel free to start up a chat and I'll get you one of the codes.

JP, I'm trying to initiate a trade RIGHTNOW. Wake up!  ;D

UPDATE : Okay, JasonPratt now has one of my two coupons. First come first served for the other one. If I notice Ashcloud or Staggering online, I'll initiate a trade invitation. If you notice me online, feel free to do the same.  :)

Also friended Ashcloud; let me know if you or Staggerwing still need a coupon.

Thanks AB!

I wonder what actually triggered the coupons, though. Buying the Steam version of Empire TW seems to have done it according to what the coupon says, but I bought a Steam version of ETW (with all the bells and whistles) and I didn't get a set of coupons. Maybe the date of the purchase is the factor? (Also I purchased the Steam version through Gamersgate on sale.)

That seems reasonable; the goal might be to give people who bought ETW on initial release a big reduction on the popular and well-received Sho2, to make up for ETW being something they shouldn't have even been giving away yet.  ;)

No idea what the trigger was.. I didn't get any vouchers despite having all the base games back to ETW.  *shrug*

Pretty sure I did the actual purchasing somewhere other than Steam for most of those, though.  ;)

I also have two vouchers. I didn't mention here because
a)  There seems to be more vouchers than takers looking at the thread
and
b) I wanted to see if any of the lads at work wanted them

However - it seems anyone who wanted this game has it and anyone who doesn't don't even want it for free...

Anyway - 2 vouchers here (I'd rather they knocked £15 off Rome II  ;) )

No, I'm good.  Thanks for the offer.

I was just wondering why I hadn't received anything.  I already own all the Steam-required TW games (including ETW) and was curious as to why I got nothing (to give away if needed).

You're welcome. Enjoy!

I am troubled by the massive growth in population seen with these codes. Soon, they'll flood the Internet like digital Tribbles and take over the web!
